Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NFGC than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
72 hedge funds hold NFGC right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +53% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+53% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 68% buying
48 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (25 opened a brand new position + 23 added to an existing one). Only 23 were sellers (14 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new NFGC position: 7 → 9 → 16 → 25. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌
Mixed — 38% long-term, 43% new
■ 38% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 43% new
Of the 72 current holders: 27 (38%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 31 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +56%, value -68%
Last quarter: funds added +56% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -68%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
10 → 7 → 9 → 16 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 9 → 16 → 25. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 46% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 42% new
Of 76 current holders: 35 (46%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

Smaller funds dominant — 10% AUM from top-100
10% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 72 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 10% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
